I wonder if that's a difference of opinion. Ernaldans regard her as a disruptive demon whereas Orlanthi regard her as a goddess of sex and love.
I notice it's also regarded as disputed by the Colymar and Malani tribes. Perhaps the dispute is that neither want the place and blame its malign elements on each other.
